Retro red

I wish wish wish I lived closer to more vintage stores – if there's one thing I love it's vintage and having clothes with a little bit of a back story is amazing. But, I don't live in a place with hundreds of vintage stores at my beck and call so when I visit Bristol (about a half an hour train ride from me) I always head to Sobey's vintage store and normally end up buying one or two things…maybe more. When I went there last I knew I wanted a pair of mom jeans, I already have a pair from Topshop but I wanted the vintage Levi's as I know they fit soooooooo well. And voila! Of course they had some I would love and that fitted me just right, all 5' 11 of me that is! Perfect for those English Summer days when all it does is rain.

To complete my 'retro red' feel I added my fab buy from Primark – this high-neck stripes vest top completely nails the Summer nautical trend and the no-sleeve trend all in one! Add some converse, my trusty suede jacket (what else?), a simple, thin black belt from ASOS and I'm good to go. I love the effortlessness of this look and how you can chuck a few key pieces together and make one hell of a statement with your outfit!

Have a fab weekend, see you for Monday's post with hopefully a little more sunshine…
